FUCIDIN® Tablets FUCIDIN® I.V. FUCIDIN® Suspension Leo Sodium Fusidate Fusidic Acid Antibiotic Action And Clinical Pharmacology: The antibacterial action of fusidic acid results from the inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis. The drug interferes with amino acid transfer from aminoacyl-sRNA to protein on the ribosomes. Fusidic acid may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending on inoculum size. Although bacterial cells stop dividing almost within 2 minutes after contact with the antibiotic in…

FROBEN® FROBEN SR® Knoll Flurbiprofen Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Agent Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Flurbiprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug with analgesic and antipyretic activity. Although its mechanism of action has not been completely elucidated it has been shown to be an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, specifically cyclo-oxygenase, and to some extent lipoxygenase, and is not due to pituitary-adrenal stimulation.

FRISIUM® Hoechst Marion Roussel Clobazam Anticonvulsant for Adjunctive Therapy Action And Clinical Pharmacology: Clobazam is a 1,5-benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant properties. In general, the mode of antiepileptic action of clobazam is probably largely analogous to that of the 1,4-benzodiazepines . The differences between clobazam (a 1,5-benzodiazepine) and the 1,4-benzodiazepines in terms of therapeutic efficacy and neurotoxicity are possibly due to the variation in degree of the agonist action at the high…
